What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official software interface for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to let users securely manage thousands of cryptocurrencies. Available on both desktop and mobile, the app offers:

  • Real-time portfolio tracking
  • Secure crypto transactions
  • Built-in staking and swap tools
  • Web3 and NFT integration
  • Full control of private keys via Ledger hardware wallets

With Ledger Live, users can manage their assets confidently without relying on centralized platforms or exposing themselves to online threats.

Why Choose Ledger Live?

🔐 Uncompromised Security

Ledger Live is built around Ledger’s industry-leading hardware wallets. All private keys are stored offline on your Ledger device and never leave it. Each transaction must be manually approved, ensuring no malicious activity can go unnoticed.

Even if your phone or computer is hacked, your crypto remains safe — because it’s never online.

📊 Portfolio Dashboard You Can Trust

Ledger Live offers a clear, real-time view of your assets. Check the value of your crypto holdings, view your asset allocation, and track individual coin performance—all in one place.

Whether you’re a casual investor or a seasoned trader, Ledger Live helps you make smart decisions quickly.

💹 Buy, Sell, Swap & Stake – Seamlessly

Ledger Live connects with trusted third-party services so you can:

  • Buy crypto using a card or bank account
  • Sell crypto back to fiat
  • Swap tokens instantly across multiple chains
  • Stake coins like ETH, DOT, ADA, ATOM, and more
  • Earn passive rewards directly from the app

It’s everything you need to manage your assets, minus the complexity and risk.

🌍 DeFi & NFT Ready

Ledger Live allows safe access to Web3 apps, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi platforms through integrations with MetaMask and WalletConnect. Your keys stay protected on your Ledger device while you explore the decentralized world.
